Buy Newegg gear using Bitcoin

Considering how much people are charging in BTC for goods and services currently and the difficulty of earning BTC, I'd rather spend real currency.

Note that I didn't check the Newegg BTC prices. I'm only applying what I've seen so far and expecting nothing different from bitspend/Newegg.

This is perfect for me as someone who does not live in the US. I live in Peru, don't have access to real electronics, cannot order from newegg without a US credit card / US address. If this site really does mail forwarding, then it would be awesome for me.

I just wish they also did clothes, books, maybe amazon.com or something.

You can use BTCBuy to buy amazon gift cards with bitcoin, just redeem the code on your amazon.com account, and you can buy it whatever you like.

BTCBuy won't ship to me though. Amazon only ships a very small number of products to Peru. Electronics and clothes not included.

You can use a package forwarding service to get shipping to Peru (or any other country) from US stores that don't ship outside the US. You can get a US address, order from Newegg (or any store you want) and forward your items to your country. See http://www.opas.com/how-it-works.php
